With her flushed pout, sculpted features and flawless complexion, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a knack for turning red carpets into smouldering photo shoots.

“For Rosie’s make-up applications, I like to do a lot of prep work on her skin before applying foundation,” says celebrity make-up artist Nikki DeRoest. “So I’ll do highlighting and bronzing first for a true lit-from-within glow.”

Woke up to a #MemoFromRosie today and it's all about the G L O W ✨✨✨ @roseinc @rosiehw Excited to share the SPILL I did with Rosie, and a video we did together....coming soon on Rose Inc. 🎀 Memo is linked in my bio so you can see what to look forward to in August, and thank you Rosie for your kind words💋

DeRoest’s inspiration for her A-list client’s looks comes from the supermodels of the late ’80s and early ’90s. “I love how raw and natural the models of that era looked—especially their skin,” she says. “But then they always had a touch of sexiness and glamour.”

Moisturise right

For a make-up look that lasts, “apply creams and oils only where you need them for day, and leave your heavy moisturising for night,” DeRoest says, who, along with Huntington-Whiteley, uses non-comedogenic skincare.

Dial up theglam

Whether it’s a smoky eye or neutral shadow paired with liner, DeRoest likes to complete an eye look with a wash of shimmer. Press your finger into a metallic pigment and dab gently over your lid, then match with a pinky-nude lip for true Huntington-Whiteley glam.

Flawless cover

DeRoest trades a traditional concealer for bareMinerals’ loose powder foundation. “It’s the best natural-looking coverage you’ll ever use for blemishes, and sun and age spots,” she says.
